lyrics

face to face at a long white table
backed up by our spies and generals
a new peace treaty all set for writing
who is is going to be the first to sign it
both of us happy just to sit all day
nobody gonna give an inch away
hold the ground till somebody walks out

why is it so hard
to give it up
to just admit what we really want
why is it so hard
to take down the walls
instead of putting more barbed wire on
and you would think with time
we'd see the truth
that there ain't no win, there ain't no lose
why is it so hard
to tell someone
you just love someone

i see you standing on your black square
i stay on the white and wouldn't dare
wave the flag for the sake of reason
my pride would have me shot for treason
there i see you digging new trenches
and rolling up cannons behind new fences
rifles and flak jackets on your queen

(chorus)

do you reckognize the moments in your life
a split in the road and you gotta choose left or right
could it be the time to raise our white flags in the sky

don't send out signals that your lines are breaking
don't give no quarter to the ones you've taken
don't let me see your weary soldiers
don't you shiver as it gets colder
don't let slip the real emotion
regroup and drive my armies in the ocean
but we cannot plant flags in common ground
